In Nature’s infinite book of secrecy

A little I can read.

Antony and Cleopatra

William Shakespeare 1564–1616

In today’s technological world we are beginning to lose touch with nature. At one time, the natural world and the supernatural were so closely linked that it was difficult to distinguish which part of the psyche was engaged in everyday life. Now people walk the forests, mountains and valleys armed with mobile phones. They lose the awareness of the audible silence that pervades the atmosphere and are unable to feel the vibrations of the living Earth and everything that is dependent on it.

We are in danger of becoming technological robots. Long ago, people were able to generate their own energy fields that interacted with the subtle forces of nature, creating zones where spirits abounded and magical moments were an everyday occurrence. When these things are absent, the world becomes a very dreary place indeed – pure black and white, with nothing in between.

Interest in science fiction is immense, not least because such works offer readers a fantasy world where they can escape from the rigours of the real world. The danger comes when someone gives their whole life over to fantasy, neglecting their own unique creative imagination. The authors of science fiction and fantasy books and films are trying to use their imagination to stimulate the thoughts of others, not to imprison them in a single fake universe.

At some point we all need inspiration and, providing it does not become a habit, then that is the time when you can indulge in other people’s fantasies.

Those of us who recognise the supernatural know that it can empower the imagination to such an extent that individuals begin to believe they can reach places where they would otherwise not have dared to go. The interaction we build up with other worlds at this stage is real, and therefore we don’t need to lose ourselves in an imaginative process that has not been of our own making.

Imagination opens the doors of the mind so that we may see things as they really are and not as they seem to be. That is why I want to introduce you to the art of telepathy. And what better way could there be to begin than with animals?

I am often asked why the majority of people cannot communicate with animals. One answer is that they simply cannot be bothered to devote enough time and energy to it. The gift of communication with any species has to be learnt. Humans are encouraged from the cradle to learn how to interact with their own kind, but the same is not always true when it comes to interacting with the living world around us. There is one major difference between the two. Whilst we expect other species to respond to our language, the vast majority of people are not taught to meet the other species halfway. This is sad, because it can be done by using the telepathic ability of the mind. Although it takes time and patience, the end results are worth every minute spent learning this art. Not only will you be able to communicate with any creature, but you will also gain a better understanding of your own kind. Over the centuries, we have gradually lost our abilities in this area – through doubt and through the belief that man is superior to every living thing. We know now that this simply isn’t true.

You only have to study ants to realise that their system of communication is impressive. They don’t waste time or energy in achieving synergy with the natural world. I have been able to send telepathic messages to ants and have seen how these messages have been received and acted upon. They have an amazing ability to pick up on negative and positive vibrations.

You will see from the following story that, no matter how small or microscopic Earth’s creatures might be, you can communicate with them in a way they will understand.

I received a letter from a couple who told me that ants had infested the plaster on the walls of their bedroom. They had tried everything possible to treat the problem, but without success. They did not want to use poisons because of the effect it might have on their small children. They begged me to help.

I asked them to find somewhere in their garden where the ants would be safe and where they would not cause any problems to them or the surrounding area. After much thought, they decided that an uncultivated area at the end of the garden would be the best place for them to go. With this in mind I could begin the process of moving the ants out of their old haunt and into a more suitable environment.

This is a common problem, and one that I had successfully dealt with many times, but I never take things for granted. The lines of communication I use are always the same, and I am never tempted to try to bypass these paths. Unless the message is powerful, the results will be negative – the message simply will not be accepted.

I focused on the address of the property then, using remote viewing, I entered the house and projected my mind into the bedroom where the ants were lodging. Using the power of my mind, I got an x-ray view of the activity behind the plaster. It was unbelievable – a black, pulsating mass of energy. I knew that if I doubted my ability to move this mass I would not be able to solve the problem, because doubt always counteracts our potential. I also know that if you allow yourself to be inspired by a challenge, then magical feats can be achieved and I love a challenge.

I began the process of driving out the ants from the plaster by building up a picture of one in my mind. Then I magnified the image. When I felt that the picture of the ant was secure and would not disappear, I spoke as I would if I were conversing with a friend. I knew there must be no anger in my communication, for this would have a negative effect upon them. I warned the ants that if they did not vacate the space behind the plaster, they would have no peace, but if they followed my instructions, I would guide them to a more secure site.

When I felt that the message had been received, I called the family and asked them to get in touch with me as soon as they saw the ants moving to their new home. Naturally they were sceptical, as they had never been involved in anything like this before.

The following day I received a call from them, informing me that the ants had gone. They had begun by moving across the room and out through the open windows. The family followed them down the garden until they reached the chosen site, and watched as they all disappeared underground. Apparently, it took four hours for them all to leave, but at the end of the day, not a single ant remained. Needless to say, the family was delighted with the results.

I know that this story must sound crazy to the uninitiated, but those who live an outdoor life and have an empathy with nature know that it can be done. I have received thousands of letters from people who would like to practise the art of telepathy but who are distressed by their inability to form an image in their mind’s eye. They begin to feel that any kind of visualisation or telepathy exercises are beyond them, but this is not the case.

There is something I call ‘knowing’, and this is just as powerful as creating images. You know what you would like to see, and you know what you want to do. Once you have this confidence, the next step is to speak with your mind. It is as simple as reciting a poem in your head.
